But he felt that he did not enjoy it, it was too exclusive to the sector for himself, why did he think about living the unloved. Five years running in PU, he was teased by an offer from StanFlex. He refused the priority line offer by a friend. He did not flinch with the temptation of a salary of 1.5 million. He admitted that he enjoyed the way he loved in the PU sector, which at that time was still a candidate for Civil Servant with a salary of only 60 thousand rupiah.
